I have over 30,000 clients running XP, which are being replaced with Windows 7
machines at the rate of about 5,000/year. At that rate I will be all in on
Windows 7 when Windows 8 is approaching end of life.

I didn't say it was a bad OS. I said it is nearing EOL. I know someone still
running Windows 98. It still works, it is just not suppor

Facts of life. Win XP is as strong in business now as it was ~10
years ago. Particularly when optimized for performance and the
"classic" start screen is used (so as to make it look like windows
2000) Our machines at work are XP, and there is no interest in
moving. We just loaded orifice 20
programs I have.
